If you would like to translate certain words or even whole paragraphs to any other European language then try Google Translation

This can be very useful to plan certain help phrases if you are planning to drive to a foreign country and run into difficulties. You may breakdown somewhere where the local residents have no ability to communicate with you in your language!

Directions for Driving to Club Albufeira,Central Algarve,Portugal.

Monday, August 4th, 2008

On leaving Faro airport follow the sign to Faro but dont go into Faro -you will then see a blue sign for Portimao on the N125 road -follow this until you see the blue sign A22 /IP1 to Portimao-don`t go fast otherwise you may miss certain turns.
Once on the motorway A22 / IP1 and you can see a castle on a hill on the right side, you can go faster until you reach the Albufeira turn off at junction 9.This takes you onto the N125 and then the N395-look out for a footbridge over the road -just before this footbridge on the right side is the entrance to Club Albufeira.
Stop at the Reception Office of Club Albufeira and ask them to show you on their map where your apartment or villa is located.If you go to the round-about you have gone too far!
Although you may already be accustomed to driving on the right-hand side of the road in other countries such as Germany, be aware that for some reason the Portuguese seem to like driving on the left ( overtaking ) which has caused many accidents. Defensive and careful driving is therefore necessary.
